Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any previous knowledge of Russian?

Absolutely not! This course is designed for absolute beginners. We start from zero, assuming you don't even know the alphabet. We'll teach you how to read the most important letters and phrases right from the start.

How long will it take to finish the course?

You can watch all the video lessons in one or two afternoons (about 1-2 hours total). However, to truly learn the phrases, we recommend practicing for 15-20 minutes a day. Most students feel confident with the material in under 7 days!

Can I access it on my phone?

Yes! The entire course is fully responsive and works beautifully on your phone, tablet, or computer. You can practice your flashcards on the bus or review the vocabulary list while waiting in line for coffee.

Will I get a certificate?

We are working on adding a certificate feature soon! This functionality is not launched just yet. As soon as it is, all existing students will automatically get access to it for free.
